this is just another data point for people interested in mac emulators.
xcelerated systems, inc. of san diego have a software emulator for the mac
that runs on the sparcstation.  it is also priced at $700 but is already
complete!!! 

i saw a demo yesterday (you can get a  time-limited demo from the company;
i have  no idea what the address and phone number is) and it runs
system 6.0.7 (not system 7 yet), but not multifinder.  other than that, it is
a real mac!!!

perhaps someone can convince the company to port this puppy to the next? it
would be nice to have a little competition/incentive for ardi to lower
their price.

on a related note, i suspect that xcelerated systems will get jumped on by
apple before ardi does when it comes to 'look-n-feel' lawsuits.  their product's
future probably will help determine executor's.
